849.99 is what percent of 1000000 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1000000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 1000000, so we can write it down as 100%=1000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 849.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=849.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1000000
2) x%=849.99
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=1000000/849.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 849.99 is what percent of 1000000

100%/x%=1000000/849.99
(100/x)*x=(1000000/849.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1176.4844292286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1176.4844292286) to get x
100/1176.4844292286=x
0.084999=x
x=0.084999

now we have:
849.99 is 0.084999% of 1000000
